Orange County, Calif.—Dec. 3, 2013—One of Russia's most fascinating and complex composers—Dmitri Shostakovich—goes under the magnifying glass when Pacific Symphony partners with Chapman University's Global Arts Program to present “Decoding Shostakovich,” a festival dedicated to the iconic composer, whose life unfolded under the Soviet system. There are myriad reasons for a festival devoted to this fascinating man, beginning with the tremendous impact he had on classical music in Russia and beyond. Through classical concerts and a wide array of presentations (discussions, film, dance, lecture, piano recital, theater, symposium, book club and master classes), “Decoding Shostakovich” probes deeply into the man to reveal the composer's relationship to his home country, its culture and politics and the effects these had on his music. The festival, which began in November, continues into February 2014. For more information about “Decoding Shostakovich,” visit: http://www.pacificsymphony.org/shostakovich_festival.

Deep in every person's heart lies a God-consciousness; that is, each and sundry has a built-in knowledge of God. Such knowledge conjures up a 'good' God as seen in creation - its beauty, balance and splendor. However, the existence of evil and suffering creates such tension that many people dismiss the God they know in their hearts. Author and Minister Jeff Valentine aims to solve this tension in 'Focus in the Fog,' a faith-impelled autobiography that will open the eyes of readers to the truths about God and existence.
